Since its commissioning in 2021, the Lianyungang Petrochemical ethylene unit has operated smoothly and continuously for three years, setting a new record for the longest operating cycle of its kind in the industry. In early April 2024, the ethylene series units will undergo their first major overhaul. On March 15th, Lianyungang Petrochemical held a mobilization meeting for the overhaul.
Lianyungang Petrochemical General Manager Zhu Xiaodong delivered a mobilization report at the meeting. The report pointed out that this overhaul is not only a tough battle for Lianyungang Petrochemical this year, but also crucial to achieving the annual profit target. The work is demanding and the technical requirements are high. General Manager Zhu Xiaodong mobilized all personnel to focus on the goals of "stable shutdown, good repair, smooth start-up, long cycle, and profitable operation," adhering to the unified leadership of the command center, focusing on process optimization, safety and environmental protection, standardization, resource guarantee, and team building, strengthening control of key nodes, implementing a grid management system, and working together to complete this overhaul and renovation task with high quality and efficiency. Yang Weidong, Chairman and President of Satellite Chemicals, attended the meeting and put forward high standards and strict requirements for the overhaul work.
This major overhaul covers the ethylene plant, some downstream units, and related auxiliary facilities, and is scheduled to last approximately 50 days. Lianyungang Petrochemical will adhere to the principles of "safety, greenness, economy, high quality, and efficiency," ensuring that "gas does not enter the air, oil does not land on the ground, and noise does not disturb residents," jointly creating a new model for "five-year overhaul" of a million-ton ethylene plant!
